Always full of life, his friendly personality led him to many friendships throughout his life, as he never met a stranger and was always willing to a help anyone he could. Mr. Kendal had a fun sense of humor, affectionate smile, and easy-going nature, and his legacy will be that of a loving father, grandfather, brother, and true friend to all those whose life he touched most.
Those left to cherish his memories include one daughter, Caitlyn Mathis (A. J. Murphy), one son, Christopher Mathis (Leanne), two sisters, Debbie Lormendez, and Kim Holt (Joe), five grandchildren, Lilah and Haydn Mathis, and Aaliyah, Brianna, and Cassidy Pope, and Denise Mathis.
